With
the arrival of the good weather Barcelona is full with "Carpas"
(tents) and terraces to have a refreshing time in the warm summer
nights. They are in all the neighbourhoods of the city, from the
small terraces of Gracia or Born district to the tents, so fashionable
lately.
Barcelona,
Mediterranean city for excellence, offers a great quantity of
terraces where we can take a refreshment while we enjoy the breeze
of the summer nights. The small typical terraces coexist with
big spaces: the tents, that content different environments.
Carpe
Diem is one of these tents, placed close to the Camp Nou, conditioned
for summer and winter. They are specialists in realizing all kinds
of celebrations, from university parties to fashion shows and
photographic articles, among others. In this tents you will listen
varied and actual music, with a previous payment of entry with
included drink.
Near this tent we find a great space outdoors of 20.000 m2 with
16 terraces and three different environments, they are the tents
of Torre Melina, near to Juan Carlos I Hotel. This tents have
a new night offer in which people can find a bit of everything:
two big Tents - discotheques, bars, restaurant, and a zone of
games with a wide stage for concerts. These wide spaces are ideal
for going with a group, for celebrations and business's dinners;
the environment is diverse and it's indicated for people of all
kinds of age and style, from foreigners to groups of middle-age
executives with desire of having fun.
One of the night areas of bigger capacity is Firestiu. This tents
are very full and successful. Every Saturday more than 12.000
persons go there. They have numerous alternatives: hairdresser's,
restaurants, sheds to be tattooed and little attractions.
For
all those who prefer a calmer place, we recommend you to go over
the terraces of the different neighbourhoods, specially of the
most ancient ones as the Gothic and Gracia neighbourhood. They
are terraces with history, near the Gothic and modernist monuments
of the city, that allow you to have something nice and cool while
we eat a good "tapa". In the Born neighbourhood there
are the most famous ones, as those of the Paseo del Born and those
that exist around the Santa Maria del Mar Church. La Vinya del
Senyor is a clear example of it; is a terrace placed in front
of the Church where the passion for wine is always present, in
summer or in winter. They have a great selection of wines that
are drunk accompanied of some small dishes, worth being tasted.
The
Gracia neighbourhood has hidden squares and narrow streets where
the terraces are the authentic summer protagonists. The Sol Square
is replete of ancient and new terraces among which El Café
del Sol is one of the most ancient bars of this square. In the
Plaza de la Virreina, we find a terrace with the same name. The
terrace of the bar Virreina, near the alternative cinema Verdi,
allows to sit and chat with friends while we taste some of the
magnificent sandwiches that they offer.
The offer is extensive, every square, every neighbourhood, every
corner hides a terrace where we can rest and enjoy summer without
going out of the city.
